Excluding the results of the 2003 and 2007 seasons, 2001 has to be the most enjoyable LSU season I can remember. All of this program in decline talk and NC or disappoinment kind of makes me miss that year.

I just remember how much fun it was to finally make it to SEC GC. Rohan to Reed, D Davis returning punts. Losing to Ole Miss sucked, but the light came on after that game. Auburn game getting moved to first week in Dec to clinch the West, band and punter fight, storm the field. I'll never forget there was an LSU fan dressed like Santa Clause smoking a cigar, I talked to him for a few minutes on the field near the visitor side line. I hope you post on here.

Also LSU could have scored 100 in the Sugar Bowl against Illinois that year.

Its a shame that it's kind of impossible to enjoy and 8-3, SEC and Sugar Bowl Championship season anymore. It almost feels like you need a few loses to make the wins feel better.

I think 2003 was the best. We didn't expect to be a champion, so the 1 loss wasn't the end of the world. The atmosphere at the UGA game is something I'll never forget.

Was an awesome season. First SEC championship I attended.

I think Reed is still catching passes on Illinois right now as I type this.

But yea, 2011 was awesome until the last day. Will probably be my favorite season since I went to 11 of the 14 games.

2003
2001
2011
2007 and 2006 were extremely frustrating with the close games.
2005. Great home schedule that year.

i liked 2005.....i think that season is underrated. We lost in overtime to Tennessee (Rick Clausen...really?) and then got hammered in the SEC championship game, but that season was exciting and at a time when the fan base really stuck together with all that was going on in the state. We wrecked miami and I really think that was a moment of, LSU has arrived. They are no one hit wonder.

It's gotta be 2011 for me. That year was incredible. We ran everyone off the field.

2001 was great because two years prior LSU was 3-8. We didn't know what the new Coach Saban was actually going to do and having been through the 90's where LSU had 7 losing seasons that decade, everyone was extremely happy. We won the SEC and went to the Sugar Bowl and beat Illinois.
The athletic department wasn't gouging fans and moving every great game to a "neutral" site to supposedly make more money than at home, then. It's sad but I feel like LSU is now much like the government and can't stop from taking money from the fans and gives us shite for what they take.

The SECCG weekend in 2001 was so awesome. I was a freshman in high school and went with my dad. Watched LSU win their first championship game on Saturday then watched the Saints whoop the Falcons on Sunday. That game also featured Deuce McAllister's first NFL TD.

2011 was the best, most memorable. The year of the Honeybadger. Jarrett Lee getting Redemption, Miles getting the team fired up, beating everyone by 30..

2001 exercised a lot of demons for LSU football. Its too bad that the post 2007 children that refer to themselves as fans will never understand it.
